Antique 1900s Silk Lace Blouse Front

$ 30.00 USD

Stunning antique blouse front / modesty panel / applique. It certainly came off of an existing article of clothing at some point. I believe it's silk, and absolutely gorgeous. Light beige/darker ivory with pretty floral details and dusty blush ribbon, backed with very delicate pale ivory silk. There are snaps along one side where it would have attached to the dress or blouse it came off of. Measures 14" from the end to center point and about 5.5" at the widest when laid flat. My best guess as to the age of this is circa the 1910s through the 1930s.
Excellent vintage condition. Especially for its age. The lace is intact and just lovely. There are some mild foxing areas. And minor signs of it having been removed from a prior garment ( loose threads for example). The only real issue is the silk backing, its shattering, so I'd definitely plan on removing that.

Please note: Many of my items are vintage, preused and preloved items. I will mention if an item is vintage, and if so will do my best to list any issues, but signs of wear should be expected in my vintage items and vintage items are considered final sales. Please feel free to convo me with any questions. I'm truly happy to help in any way possible and I'm always up for a chat.
